# Debian and Red Hat, and perhaps other vendors, provide both runtime and
# development packages for some libraries.  The runtime packages contain shared
# libraries with version information in their names (e.g., libgdbm.so.1.7.3);
# the development packages supplement this with versionless shared libraries
# (e.g., libgdbm.so).
#
# If you want to link against such a library, you must install the development
# version of the package.
#
# These packages use a -dev naming convention in both Debian and Red Hat:
#   libgdbmg1  (non-development version of GNU libc 2-linked GDBM library)
#   libgdbmg1-dev (development version of GNU libc 2-linked GDBM library)
# So make sure that for any libraries you wish to link Perl with under
# Debian or Red Hat you have the -dev packages installed.

# SuSE Linux can be used as cross-compilation host for Cray XT4 Catamount/Qk.

You don't have an ELF gcc.  I will use dld if possible.  If you are
using a version of DLD earlier than 3.2.6, or don't have it at all, you
should probably upgrade. If you are forced to use 3.2.4, you should
uncomment a couple of lines in hints/linux.sh and restart Configure so
that shared libraries will be disallowed.

	# In addition, on some systems there is a problem with perl and NDBM
	# which causes AnyDBM and NDBM_File to lock up. This is evidenced

	# happens on a.out systems, so we disable NDBM for all a.out linux
	# systems.  If someone can suggest a more robust test
	#  that would be appreciated.

	# To make a long story short, making sure that the *.a and *.sa pairs of

Disabling ndbm.  This will generate a Whoa There message in Configure.
